Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

The atrioventricular (AV) node is a part of the heart's electrical conduction system that receives an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial (SA) node. Its primary function is to slightly delay the transmission of this impulse to the ventricles, ensuring that the atria have enough time to fully empty their blood into the ventricles before they contract.
